Set In Stone

We both know we know the truth

And every reality bigger than words

And every feather mightier than sword
That tries so hard to cut off their roots
But we both know we know the truth
Zombies and dreamers marching on
Trying to keep time from moving on
While they say their prayers out loud
Civil wars and angry storms raging on
Twisting rules and breaking bones

Closing in with a wall of sound

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you were not there to live

No matter if you won't be there to see

Though now is dead and gone

It's set in stone, my dear

We both know we know the truth

And we both know how much it means

Though it keeps tearing apart at the seams

And it keeps coming out right through you

So we both know we know the truth

I know you don't dare looking back now

You go on blocking the noise somehow

Because you can't afford to turn away

Still dreamers and sleepwalkers yell out

Their empty prayers as a wall of sound

As if we couldn't see the light of day

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you believe no one knows

No matter if you think we should let it go

You just can't change what's done

Now it's set in stone

As we see time going by the boards

Something you'll beg, borrow and steal

And run so sweaty to reach for more

Though it is not yours to lose

To twist, to bend or to use

To alter, to hunt or pursuit

And in spite of you time will

tell the truth because we both know

It did so many times before

Anchor

I've learned the time in ways I've never imagine

As a hurricane and as a breeze, easy come, easy go

I hold it with my fingertips, my nails and teeth

I always end up losing track of it and letting it go

Today I prayed to Neptune under the waves

Whatever mercy you have please have it on me

In these times of seeing the end as you begin

For my heart travels among rocky islands

Yes, I jumped on board

One vice to another, ready, set, go

Adrift swimming far from the shore

Seasick I keep swinging and swaying

And yet a voice keeps saying

Don't drop your anchor

It gets easier to read the water and the skies

If the story is written on the waves and thunderbolts

And my natural force lays with no remorse

As I become one with the wind, sky and the earth

One day I'll have conquered the lands and the sea

And the roaming won't be so scary anymore

Junkie

When you opened your spaced out eyes

You almost knew the world in front of you

The rush to the head, the cold running sweat

Your tongue numb, god gave you a turn

And you won't change it for a damn thing

All your life you've waited for the time

The devil would buy a soul like yours

And you'd sell it for a couple of words

For all that it is worth and for what's not

As long as you could take your long shot

The junkie started a joke

The addiction is it's own reward

Once you're never fully satisfied

Craving what you're owed

So thirsty for what others afford

You're high on your scarce supply

Drinking other people's kool aid

Cause it's paid and sold

The junkie started a joke

Every single time feels like the first

When the day outside burned too bright

A borrowed state of bliss, flying to abyss

Screaming into the void how you rejoice

To be the one dreaming in both worlds

Please tell me are you ready to confess

Or would you rather bleed your truths out

From down your nose, staining your clothes

Trapped in twisted waves, no wish to escape

You just wouldn't know who you are

You woke up in a world

You didn't dreamed of

Rounded by limelights

And nooses and knots

Wishing for sweet silence

To flood your deaf ears

Your prayers and dreams

could mean anything

Rogue

Don't you know I was reborn to run

I've followed every rule and now

I know where they all end up

Not afraid to look the truth in the eye

Been too close to the end many times

to not know now what it looks like

The wish to see this whole world on fire

It's been twisting and eating me inside

Trapped in an awake fantasy

No, I don't need your dirty hands

trying to bend my neck or my heart

Don't you forget that when a life ends 

Then another one shall start

No turning down or turning back now

I'll be screaming out loud til ears bleed

I won't ask if you can give me what I need

I'll go ahead and I won't wait for the end

to come find me and meet me halfway

I'll just go rogue and take what I want

And I want it now and my way

One day this world gave me eyes to see

And I never forgotten how it was like

To wake up for the first time and be free

Aware that it wasn't someone else's dream

And I'm not unarmed as you would think

I've every drop of blood beneath the skin

Roaming this breeding ground for war

I haven't created it, but I'll might take part

For the truths that couldn't

have been brought up to light

For the scarcity of the times 

And the vows we didn't say

out loud yet we crossed the line

For the promises we should've

known they couldn't have been kept

For the limits we tried to reset

When everything else failed

I couldn't afford never trying

Drunk

Tell me how it feels to know you've told
your secrets to the wrong people
And I promise I won't hide how easy I was
completely took by all your evil
Here you are waging war against anyone
And on your own oblivion
Darling, I just believed you

Somewhere she's knocking her head
Playing back her empty prayers
Doesn't she knows your stupid love
Comes separated in layers
That shit doesn't redeem a damn thing
Neither it spares what it betrays
Just another poor strayed

Now it doesn't matter
Who murdered and who died a little death
Who promised and who took it all back
Who said I hate you first or last
I wish I could remember what we said
Though we were both drunk

You know I saw you slip, get up and trip
And give in to our temptations
And I'm dead sure out there it was heard
In all your vicious conversations
Though you were alone spitting your blood
From your made up altercations
And covered bifurcations

She keeps dreaming of finding something
Or someone to promise her heaven
And the way how your head is in the clouds
Maybe someday it'll just happen
You'll be on time, rolling your eyes
With witnesses of your religion
The god you cannot petition

Now it doesn't matter
Who meant it and who told a lie or two
Who saw it blurry and who saw it through
Who fought and who didn't even tried to
But now whatever was done is done
Though we were both drunk

How does it feel to know the party is over
How bad it feels to be sober
How much it hurts to turn up the lights
How sad it was all a waste of time

Balthazar

You're taking back your gold and myrrh
As you trace back the path of stars
that brought you here
Balthazar, after all we lost control of
I still got to hold my faith so dear

One day you came to me
You took me by the hands and
opened my eyes to see
Balthazar, now take a look at me
And what our love turned out to be
in 2000 years

Here's our gospel as apocryphal
Here's our rise as downfall
Here's our prayer as profane
Here's our love as inhumane
From zero to everything
From intuition to dream
From cancer to pisces
From me to you
Balthazar

I took your word and I took your wine
Until they'd spread themselves thin
As the blessings by my bedside
Balthazar, but I remember who we were
When we'd count them at our shrine

When you came at my altar
All the time you seemed to know
all our life ahead
Balthazar, when time and space
made themselves I just hoped
that we'd be there
And right here I swear

You throw prayers to the night sky
Cause in the dark you'll find me here
You're breaking your vow of silence
As you refuse to break your knees
For the praise of me you don't show
And the words we can't get back

I See Red

Touch my skin for something real
You don't know the weight and the feel
Hovering over all the things unknown (I see)
All the power of the lost reason
Are my own desertions and small treasons
Stretching themselves across my mind (I see)

I see no difference
I see no silence
I see no weakness
I see no defiance
I see red

I know strength as it unravels raw
No end or beginning as the borders fall
Solidifying in the weakness and numb (I see)
Brutally obliterating any wield
So oblivion feels redeeming and conceals
The power of one's will won't avoid me (I see)

I see no control
I see no reality
I see no borders
I see no reality
I see red
